GATE Score
After the evaluation of the answers, the raw marks obtained by a candidate will be converted to a normalized GATE Score. From 2013, the GATE score is computed by a new formula.
The GATE Score of a candidate is computed from:
where,
- S = GATE Score (normalised) of a candidate,
- M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper,
- Mq = Qualifying marks for general category candidates in the paper,
- Mt = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper,
- St = GATE Score assigned to Mt (around 900), and
- Sq = GATE Score assigned to Mq (around 300).
Mq is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or μ+σ, whichever is higher. Here μ is the mean of marks in a paper and σ is the standard deviation.
GATE score remains valid for up to two year from the date of issue.
Old formula:
Till GATE 2012 the score was calculated using the formula: GATE score =
- Where
- m = marks obtained by the candidate.
- a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
- S = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
- ag= global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
- sg= global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
